Topic: Study of Atheists and Spirituality (Read 1206 times)

I am seeking participants for a study of atheists and spirituality for my master’s thesis at Ball State University. The study involves a survey with questions about spirituality and demographic information that takes approximately 15 minutes to complete. To be eligible to participate, you must be 18 years of age or older, live in the United States, and identify as an atheist.

There is also an optional interview portion that participants may agree to take part in. The interview will take approximately one hour to complete, and will be conducted via telephone or in-person. It includes questions regarding spirituality, atheism, and practices related to these identities.

Here's their homepage: BSU. I looked up their Wiki page too -- David Letterman went there.

Ball State is a real University, not a Liberty look alike. It is a legitimate outfit.

Thanks Icarus.

Ball State is a major state university in Indiana - I'm surprised it seems to be so unknown! But I promise it's real, and the research has been approved by my institution's research board.

There is no set end date to reply yet - if I had to choose a date, it would be the end of August most likely.

Once you have collected your data would it be ok to publish your questionnaire here? No, is a perfectly acceptable answer.
